Information from Children

Through the Website

The Website is not intended or designed to attract children under the age of 13. We do not use the Website to collect personally identifiable data from any person that we know to be under the age of 13, and we are in full compliance with the Child Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), as well as any and all other applicable privacy laws, rules and regulations.

Notwithstanding anything in this Privacy Policy to the contrary, the sole circumstances under which we would knowingly receive personal information about a child through the Website are instances where the child’s parent(s)/guardian(s) provide that information.

The School, GSI, and our and their respective service providers, do receive personal information about your children as a part of offering and providing you and your children with our services. By applying for enrollment or enrolling your child at the School, you expressly agree that we, GSI and our and their respective service providers, will necessarily receive certain personal information about and potentially from your child. As a result of this, you agree:

(1)This Privacy Policy shall serve as notice to you regarding the School’s information practices with regard to children, including the types of personal information we may collect or receive from your child (through whatever source), the uses to which we may put that information, and whether and with whom we may share that information.

(2)You have and hereby consent to the collection of personal information from your child (in any manner, including, but not limited to, inadvertent or unauthorized disclosure through the Website).

(3)We have notified you that you have the right to request access to the personal information we at such time have collected from your child and the ability to request that such personal information be corrected or deleted.

We do not currently engage in any marketing activities to your child through the Website. To the extent there is any change in this practice, such change will be posted to this Privacy Policy. To be clear, the Schooltreats privacy as a top priority, especially the privacy of any information about your child.

You affirm that you are either more than eighteen (18) years of age, or an emancipated minor, or possess legal parental or guardian consent, and are fully able and competent to enter into the terms, conditions, obligations, affirmations, representations, and warranties set forth in this Privacy Policy, and to abide by and comply with this Privacy Policy. In any case, you affirm that you are over the age of thirteen (13), as THE WEBSITE IS NOT INTENDED FOR CHILDREN UNDER 13 THAT ARE UNACCOMPANIED BY HIS OR HER PARENT OR LEGAL GUARDIAN.

Parents and legal guardians should be aware that the Privacy Policy will govern our use of personal data, but that information that is voluntarily given by children or others in email exchanges, bulletin boards or the like may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited communications. The School encourages all parents and legal guardians to instruct their children in the safe and responsible use of their personal data while using the Internet.

California Privacy Rights

Under California’s “Shine the Light” law, California residents who provide personal information in connection with obtaining products or services for personal, family or household use are entitled to request and obtain from us once a calendar year information about the customer information we shared, if any, with other businesses for their own direct marketing uses. If applicable, this information would include the categories of customer information and the names and addresses of those businesses with which we shared customer information for the immediately prior calendar year (e.g., requests made in 2013 will receive information regarding 2012 sharing activities).

To obtain this information from the School, please send an email message to the email address provided at the end of this Privacy Policy with “Request for California Privacy Information” in the subject line and in the body of your message. We will provide the requested information to you at your email address in response. Please be aware that not all information sharing is covered by the “Shine the Light” requirements and only information required to be shared will be included in our response. Please be further aware that the School will report only its own information, not the information sharing undertaken by GSI, if any, and you should consider making a similar request to GSI for that information.

Do Not Track

Additionally, because we may collect your personal information from time to time, California’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 2003 (CalOPPA) requires us to disclose how we respond to “do not track” requests, signals and other similar mechanisms. Currently, our policy is that we do not recognize “do not track” requests and signals from Internet browsers and similar devices. The School is not in the business of tracking users for the purpose of building online usage profiles of visitors to the Website, and our use of your personal information is strictly limited to the uses described herein. A visitor to the Website delivering a “do not track” request or signal will be treated no differently than a visitor to the Website not delivering a “do not track” request or signal. Please see the “User Information” section herein to understand how this policy may affect you.

Your Consent To This Privacy Policy
